  1. Not much in ammo selection in a small town, so I usually order online or wait until a trip to the Valley, but I don't see a trip anytime soon and everywhere on the internet is currently sold out....SO if anyone is out and about and see Winchester 32 grain silvertip 204 ammo around, will you post so I can try to get my hands on it? I would really appreciate it alot! THANKS.

    Bushnell yardage pro 600 problems

    Sorry you are having a problem with it. I have used one since they first came out with no problems. The heat could effect it if you left it out much recently, but weird it would work in the AM. I have found Bushnells customer service to be great, so maybe give them a call and see if they can identify the error ID. Ajohunter, my buddy is looking for a Leica 900 if you are really looking to sell one.
  4. I've been considering replacing my Remington 7mag for a while now in search of a bit lighter, less recoiling rifle. I've been considering a Weatherby 257 Vanguard. It sounds like it's made for that occasional 400 yard shot. I've been really concerned about the $50+ boxes of ammo though and I don't plan on ever becoming a reloader. My buddy has been trying to convince me to get a 270 WSM instead. He knocked a bull dead in his tracks at 390 with a 130 grain bullet yards and feels it has less recoil than my 7 mag. I just found a Winchester model 70 for a good price and am wondering if I should go with it. More ammo choices, cheaper ammo, more energy, but I think the bulet drop is more than the Weatherby. I shoot when I can, but I'm not known for my accuracy, so any help I can get with a flat bullet will definitly benefit me. I try to limit my range, but sometimes topography can make a shot at a big coues buck without the option. Anybody out there have any experinces with either cartidge or advise? Thanks.

    Anyone hunt Hawaii?

    I know hunting is fairly popular on kauai. I hiked a trail on the big peak there and saw several hunt unit boundry markers. I also saw two herds of goats. Not sure exactly what kind they were, but one group had some with horns like a spanish goat, the other group a little like Ibex. On Oahu, I was told they spear hunt hogs in the central part of the island.

    Considering getting rid of a LX, just not sure what to replace it with.
  9. Well, I'm close to purchasing a new rifle and the 257 Weatherby Magnum will probablly be the way I go. The only reason I'm still a little undecided is because of the cost of ammo. Does anyone out there have a good source for discounted ammo. I don't reload so I'm stuck to purchasing factory ammo. On that same note, what bullet/grain do you recommend using?

    Hunting 7 east...

    Well, I got to say I think it's a pretty decent hunt. The early season hunts can be great in several areas of the unit and there is always some great bulls taken. The late rifle hunts spread the elk out a bit and I have been on a couple hunts now where we have found some big bulls with very little pressure anywhere around! Also, if you can hike the "big hill", you'll run into elk. I think it is a good elk unit and know several people that apply for it over some of the better known hunts.

    OK, here's the sheds and the buck

    How far apart was the sheds found compared to where the deer was harvested?
  14. Well, we are already planning to apply for 23 as second choice and 24 as third, so this is a bit of a pointless topic, but I'm wondering if you guys think theres a chance to find some coues deer in the circus of mule deer hunters in 23? Be nice to find a 3 point to hunt, but that may be unrealistic in a "general" type hunt.

    pinal mtn pickup

    So, can you pick that thing up and keep it? Sounds like a G&F nightmare if they decide they want it. Cool find though.

    Unit 23

    Thanks guys. I figure just out there trying is better than not! Maybe I'll get lucky with the draw and luckier finding a buck. Good luck all.

    Found this today

    Yes, unfortunatly have found deer, elk, an owl, bald eagles and antelope. Sometimes you make it in time, sometimes you don't. Always unfortunate.

    Six for Six

    Like I said in a post a couple weeks ago, I am so impressed by you guys that can tag out hunting these bucks in pines (and looks like firs in this case). I've tried it with a rifle with no luck. IMPRESSIVE.
